A/N - I spent some time trying to think of a prompt to write for The MaybeItsJustMyType Collection in memory of @sweet-sweet-escape. I didn’t really get a chance to know her very well before her passing, but what I do know made me want to contribute to the collection if possible. Unfortunately, I’m really not comfortable writing about either of the two suggested topics (motherhood or coping with loss) for personal reasons, so I asked @lilsherlockian1975 what sorts of things @sweet-sweet-escape enjoyed. Lil told me that she loved to laugh and liked humour. Not long after, I found a funny prompt on Tumblr (by the time I saw it, it had already made the rounds and was on @incorrectsherlollyquotes).

Unfortunately, the humour sort of took a right turn into a wee bit of angst. Sorry. I guess I wasn’t successful on that front, but I had good intentions.

MaybeItsJustMyType had a fic of her own with a similar ‘Sherlock mistakenly thinks he and Molly are in a relationship’ theme (“Filing Mishaps and Other Adventures”), so I hope she might have liked this one.

And I’ve rambled long enough. This is written for The MaybeItsJustMyType (@sweet-sweet-escape) Collection.

Summary: Sherlock has made it quite clear that he’s not boyfriend material, but that was before Molly needed to find a tactful way to avoid the attentions of a persistent admirer. Perhaps it’s just a matter of semantics.

A/N - Written for Glitterkitty4ever, for winning my 250 Followers on Tumblr giveaway. This fic takes place after TFP and is very nearly canon compliant. There is one teeny, tiny, huge, gigantic difference that makes this an AU – Mary Watson lived.

Summary: Molly does a favour for Mycroft, and Sherlock gets it wrong. (Prompt: Mollcroft fake relationship with jealous Sherlock)

Rating: G

A/N - Stormflagflying answered my shameless begging for a short fic prompt idea – How about a Mollcroft fake relationship where Sherlock gets jealous? Currently unbeta'd, will make corrections once Lil has a chance to look things over.

Summary: Needing some time to regroup, Hermione travels to America to join a field crew observing the North American Sasquatch. She finds more than she bargained for.

A/N: This is the 2010 SS/HG Exchange gift I wrote for hilaritasetlux. Hermione is burned out. She took one Master's too many, and now all she wants is to do something that doesn't require a lot of thought but does require time spent outdoors. She moves to America and gets a job monitoring the magical bigfoot population in the swamps of Louisiana. She is also surprised to discover that Severus Snape is the leader of the field crew. Lots of muddy, watery fun ensues as Hermione finds it unexpectedly hard to give up researching and unexpectedly easy to fall in love!

As always, I do not own Harry Potter or anything in the Harry Potter universe, I'm simply playing with them for a bit.

Summary: The Malfoy family expects to receive the finest service possible, no matter what the task. When Draco seeks the affections of Hermione Granger, he enlists the aid of a careful wordsmith – one Severus Snape.

A/N: This is the 2011 SS/HG Exchange gift I wrote for Devsgma. Original Prompt: Post-war. EWE. Hermione and Severus work together (Ministry, Hogwarts etc. - your choice). They have established a real friendship, but Severus' hard achieved emotional balance is disturbed when one day Draco shows up and asks him for advice on writing a love letter to Hermione.

I want to thank Lariope for agreeing to beta my work and Beck and Devsgma for offering encouragement and advice every time I need it.
